International sleep expert Matthew Walker signs manifesto aimed at
getting everyone in the Netherlands to sleep better
With the aim of helping Dutch people get a
better night's rest, Beter Bed has launched a manifesto for
improving sleep. Sleep deprivation can affect your body, brain and
life expectancy. Matthew Walker, an internationally renowned sleep
scientist and author of 'Why We Sleep' and TEDx speaker with more
than 16 million views, recognises the problem and supports the
manifesto with his first signature.
Shaking the Netherlands
awake Sleeping well makes you happier, more productive and
healthier. One in five Dutch people suffers from some form of sleep
deprivation. We can safely say there’s a social problem. It’s time
for the whole of the Netherlands to wake up and realise the
importance of better sleep, because right now not enough attention
is being paid to preventing sleep problems.
Manifesto launchIn order to emphasise the
importance of better sleep, Beter Bed has published a manifesto.
The sleep specialist calls on the whole of the sleeping Netherlands
to support him in his mission to put the importance of better sleep
on the agenda. The aim is to encourage better sleep behaviour and
provide more information to address this social problem.
With this in mind, Beter Bed has brought
renowned sleep scientist Matthew Walker to the Netherlands to
update the press and Dutch people on the impact of this problem via
a livestream. Watch the talk here. “If 50-60% of the entire
population were to get more sleep, it would save millions of euros
in healthcare spending,” said Walker, who supports the manifesto
with his signature.
Beter Bed believes and promises that everyone
can sleep better and will do its utmost in the coming period to
fulfil this promise by working to increase awareness of the
importance of sleep. Through its own platforms, but also through
ambassadors and its network of specialists and scientists.
John Kruijssen, CEO of Beter Bed: "We see that a
select, but growing group of Dutch people is becoming increasingly
aware of the importance of sleeping better, and the media are also
paying more attention to this. Nevertheless, the figures do not lie
and there is still a huge amount of work to be done. We therefore
call on everyone to support us in our mission to put the importance
of better sleep on the agenda. In this way, together we can turn a
social problem into a social opportunity: better sleep and
therefore better life.”
